mander of his days in following their ma
rauding chief in his warfare against mer-
chant vessels These pirates" as they
style themselves, compose band OF ba-
ker's dozen of Jacksonville's young men
who have rented the McDuff House on the
beach at Mayport, and to symbolic their
quarters, have planted a tall flag pole from
which the black flag of their order is daily

their sunrise gun, and with the sound OF the
sunset gun it is furled to await the return OF
daylight.
On the night of July Startling & Hen
| dry's mill, situated on the Belleville road,
about four miles west of that place, was
burned. There were three gins, gin house,
| grist mill, cotton press, saw mill and engine
shelter all destroyed. Fortunately the pile
of lumber was not in the direction of the
wind, and was saved. The Goals had been
raked out from under the furnace, and
water thrown upon them before the hands
left the mill But everybody went off fox
hunting, and while they were gone the Goals
started to burn again, and soon everything
was enveloped in the flames. A few of the
| crowd came back to the mill soon after, but
too late to do any good. The engine and
boiler was damaged but slightly MIR. Star
| ling says his loss is about 81 GOD.
Since there has been so much furry over
the pensioners of the country, and as they
Republican States, it may not be amlss to
say that hundreds and thousands OF the
! pensioners of the government have found
| happy and contented homes in the South
since the war. Florida has her share, and
it is matter of business interest, for the
amounts received as pension money goes
! Immediately into the channels of trade.
The actual number of pensioners living in
the State is GAG, and they are paid each
| month S7,069 81, or every year 1884, S35 81.

Last Tuesday, and one or two days subse-
| quently, no attention was paid to the nom
| appearance of Capt George A. Moore, of
the American schooner Henry Washington,
who was supposed to have left Pensacola on
Monday night for Mobile; but failure to
hear from him Thursday and Friday caused
his mate Caleb MCGEE, little uneasiness,
and the latter at once instituted an inquiry
into the matter 1t was learned that he
| had taken a bus Monday night for
the depot, intending to go to Mo
| bile, but he was seen in Pensacola the
same night after the train had left, by An
| drew Brassel, the bus driver, who informed
the mate of the circumstance. The mate
| with police captain took in all the public
places in the city last night, but the search
| failed to reveal the presence of the missing
man in any of them. kilograms were sent
TO Mobile, but the Captain had not been
seen in that city. When last seen he was
drinking, had drawn 500 on that day, out
of which he had paid one or two small bills,
and he was continually flashing his roll"
| throughout the day. 1t is supposed that
his condition was noted by some one in des-
perate need of his money, that he was
watched, waylaid, and probably murdered
and robbed. The mate Friday telegraphed
| the vessels owners of the Captains disap-
peal dIlCe anu uuey WlTeC lIlSJT lOT Tue
mate to bring the vessel home. Capt Moore
was about 40 years of age feet 10 inches
in height. red face, light hair and nous
| taChe, had slight scar over the right eye,
and at the time of his disappearance, wore
a black diagonal suit and a brown straw
derby hat. He belonged to Ferry Village,
near Portland, Me-, where his family re-
sides.

veloped into first-class criminal career, if
its rapid growth be not checked and checked
very shortly, for it is attaining to such an
| altitude in a criminal record that already
| good cases for a term or two in the county
| jail, if not in the State penitentiary, have
come to light as Preparations of the youth
full offender. As no charges have been
it will be as well to withhold
names, but an insight into the crimi-
nal ingenuity and prediction of the
kid may not be amiss. He is not yet IA
years of age, and he lives not far from the
business center of the city. 1t has been his
custom to approach well-known business
men and obtain money from them on vari
Gus false pretenses, a favorite dodge with
him being the plea of his mothers poverty.
To be just to him, he does spend part of the
money thus obtained for provisions, which
he takes home but the remainder is squan-
dered for tobacco and other things con-
tributng to a depraved taste. Very
recently he went to prominent bus
mess house in this city, where, rep
resenting himself to be the son of a well
known steamboat engineer, he opened an
account, obtained a pass book, bought a
small bill of groceries and borrowed 81, all
of which business he found no difficulty in
negotiating, on account of the good credit
possessed by the gentleman whom he
claimed to be his father. His mother liqui-
dated the account when the fact was
brought to her notice but she had received no
intimation of them from the boy, who as
soon as he had completed his purchases and
obtained the 81, threw the pass book away.
